"I've gotten cards from all over the place, (like) New Mexico, Colorado, Florida, California, Washington state, Oregon, all of New England," she said.

The hospital's medical team said the 35-year-old isn't letting her limited mobility get her down. Her positive attitude is infectious, and the cards serve as a source of motivation to visitors and staff.

"She's doing a great job and has really benefited from all the support the community has sent her," said nurse John Rinelli.

Conchieri and her team of supporters have even decorated several nearby hospital rooms with cards.

"I've read every single card and every single message. There's a lot of people cheering me on and believing in miracles, like I believe in a miracle."
